1. A body-mounted measuring instrument for computing velocity and distance travelled by a user engaged in physical exercise as a function of the user'"'"'s heartbeat and the exercise time, said instrument comprising:

  • (a) heart beat sensing means for detecting heartbeats of the user and for generating electrical signals representative thereof;

    (b) computing means responsive to said electrical signals for counting the number of detected heart beats and for determining the user'"'"'s velocity and distance travelled during a period of physical exercise in accordance with a program instruction set stored in said computing means, said program instruction set representing a predetermined relationship between the number of detected heart beats during the exercise time and the user'"'"'s velocity and distance travelled; and

    (c) display means for displaying the results of selected computations performed by said computing means, said computations including the user'"'"'s velocity and distance travelled during the exercise.
